Hey all,
I was thinking of doing a BFI and attaching a duct to go under the headlight & come out in the scoop on the front bar (see pic). But i had a thought that a pod filter attached there instead would be easier and no need to seal the under-bonnet area like in the BFI.


I know it's sometimes a hot topic to who thinks standard or pod is better. I currently don't have an after market exhaust & headers, but am planing to.

I'm interested in any opinions.

Cheers

Heath,

I installed a pod on my car few weeks ago , made it run rich and i mean rich under 400km a tank. I put in some ducting and a shield which improved thigns so much more. But since I just finished my new bar and it will go on in the next few days I will be routing the pod to behind the bar exactly where you are pointing out. I think its a good idea as long as some protection is provided to it from water.

Ill give you my results in the next 5 or 6 days

Putting your pod there would probably cause it to take a pounding from little bugs and dirt...

Andrew you might want to replace with your air filter with something else!

Look at this

Unfortunately the HKS dont filter too well compared to the rest and let a lot of dirt into the motor. Not good.

Im going to use one of the Apexi Power intakes one day and have it mounted in the stock Air box, should go well - Rich has done it with great results.
